Experimenting Camera Test Shots

I wanted to do some test shots to perform different angles and compositions which I could use in my trailer, also as I'm not very experienced in filming I thought it would be best to see what is good and bad before filming. Above is my first short clip I wanted to experiment on a flower something simple to try and do a focus pull as it would be a good edit and I think this looks effective as the white could represent the innocence of the girl and the gender as girls are percived as dainty and fragile. I would use synchronous non-diegetic music to go along with this to complete it.
This is my second camera shot which I filmed on myself as a close up on my eye as some upbeat storylines capture this shot to make it more intense and to show the panic, fear and emotion in the actor/actress's eye. Also how they can be percieved it also sets the mood for the trailer. I think this camera shot would look better on someone else and if there were more noises of panting of breath, and the ey to move about less and then just look directly at the camera to make this more of an intense part of the trailer and maybe even the person to cry to make the scene more emotive and believable.

Fonts and Themes


The fonts above are a brainstorm of a few fonts that I think personally will be appropriate to use and suggest the theme of insanity I would like there to be a constant theme in the way in which the font matches the eery tone and theme of the film trailer. Each of these fonts are both similar as to me they portray the thriller tone to the trailer.
My favourite fonts are font numbers; 2, 3, 5, 8, 9. These to me are the fonts that stand out the best as they demonstrate thriller in the font by the portrayal of something going to happen. I also need to think about what colours I want to use to show thriller; so really I need to use dark colours greys,browns, blacks maybe even a silver or white.
